Solved problem with Yamaha HTR-6040 AV Receiver. My daughter had inadvertently changed the program to "Direct Stereo" mode which allows sources to bypass the decoders and DSP processors so you can listen to 2-Channel PCM and Analog sources. Nothing to decode digital audio in this setting!

i know this sounds stupid, but have you "toggled" or "played" with the HDMI cables? are they the same manufacturer? HDMI channel connections are very fickle. If just one connection is not exactly correct, they go to a limp, no go status. Since they run at such a minimal voltage, i can't see them "blowing" the outputs on the devices.however....if your cable has a serial type output for video only, I would connect the hdmi convertor to it and see if it works.

Some TV's & cables are not HDCP compliant . Sometimes you can replace the cable to fix the problem & other times you have to replace the tv because its not HDCP compliant . First check to see if your tv is HDCP compliant .

HDCP is causing the trouble You experience. Try using other video input connection for same set. If it works fine that way, the problem is that the rights protection (HDCP) is acting as "police" to prevent copying or reproduce unauthorized content. If only the HDMI is connected (disconnect all other inputs/outputs) on some sets, could be work fine.

as far as i can tell this monitor is not HDCP compliant ( High Def Copy Protection ) and therefore will not be suitable as a TV monitor. Computers can use non HDCP compliant monitors but TV Tuners, Satellite Receivers, DVD players etc with HDMI are HDCP compliant and must have a HDCP display... HDMI has two formats basically HDCP and non HDCP

HDCP is "High Definition Copy Protection"...In theory, it prevents you from running the HDMI cable out of your receiver, and into a recording device, thereby recording HD content without a license for it.

HDCP handshaking is done between devices that run HDMI, or DVI.

If you're running component from your Cable box, and then HDMI out to your TV, then the content you're carrying from the Cable box may not be getting decrypted properly when it gets upscaled onto the HDMI port from Component.

IT could also simply be that you're using an HDMI 1.1 or HDMI 1.2 cable, which may not be able to carry the high bandwidth stream of your Receiver and TV.

Please be sure that all HDMI devices can support the same HDMI version, and also be sure your HDMI cable is labled "HDMI 1.x compliant". . .e.g. if your TV and Amp support HDMI 1.2, make sure you're also using an HDMI 1.2 Cable.

try to connect the set top box in any other HDMI input of ur tv. reason is bellow read it carefully.

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection and was developed by ----------. It's nothing more than a
security feature requiring compatibility between the sender and
receiver, like HD cable set-top box and the TV. By compatibility,
mean HDCP technology built into both devices.
Think of HDCP as a security license key like you
would input when installing a computer program. Only this security
key is invisible to you and me but not your TV.
It works by encrypting a digital signal with a key
that requires authentication from the transmitting and receiving
product. If authentication fails then the signal fails, which means
no picture on the TV screen.

Buy a HDTV that has HDCP
capabilities. Most will have this in at least one HDMI input but be
sure to verify this before buying the TV.

Notice that "in
at least one port." Not every HDMI port on the TV will be HDCP
compliant so be sure to read your TV user manual if you plan on
connecting a HDMI cable to your TV.

What is a HDCP error? Here is a real life situation that happened that could happen to you.
You just bought a Blu-ray Disc Player and connected it to your older
HDTV with a HDMI cable. When you tried playing a Blu-ray disc a HDCP
error was shown on the screen. The movie wouldn't play.
This is a known issue with HDCP, and it's one of the biggest hassles
consumers will have to deal with when utilizing a HDMI cable on their
HDTV. You will get a HDCP error if you try watching HDCP encoded content
when using a HDMI cable.
The problem is that if HDCP exists anywhere in the video stream then all
devices and cables accessing this content must be HDCP compliant. If
one device or cable isn't HDCP compliant then you get a HDCP error.
The only solution is to either replace the HDMI cable with a non-digital
cable or replace the HDCP-less device. This could mean buying a new
HDTV.
In fact, I worked with a reader last year troubleshooting a HDCP error
on his TV. What happened is that he bought a Blu-ray Disc Player and
connected everything properly only to get a HDCP error. After a few
emails back and forth we discovered that his HDTV wasn't HDCP
compatible, which is why he got the HDCP error.
The reader ended up buying a newer HDTV with HDCP, and his Blu-ray Disc Player worked perfectly with HDMI cables.

The HDMI cable was causing "Display connected non-HDCP compliant" error message to appear.When I reconnected my DVD to TV using regular cable with 3 color connectors(i don't know what is the proper name for that cable) that error message no longer appears on my screen and I was able to watch my movie normally.
